Does anyone know if there is a chance for me to teach there or do I need to get a degree? Please help. I really want to live in Thailand and work there.

How can you teach if the people that you wanted to teach have more education and credibility than you? You have to study and master something before you can teach it. No offense man, but teaching might not be for you. Everybody can speak English but without education, how can people be sure that you know "proper" academic English not only with the speaking part but also the grammar and composition part. I suggest that you find another profession. I suggest probably saving some money and building an apartment there for rent. You can also apply as a translator if you know how to speak Thai. Or yet, go to college here yet while you are saving some money to live there then you'll suddenly realize that you will almost graduate and your wallet's full making you ready for immigrating there. Honestly, a lot of people there are educated and English is spoken everywhere.

You can teach. Go to a sta travel agency and they can hook you up with a course in teaching english and get you a placement in thailand before you leave.

First, you find a classroom full of kids......No, you have to pass a test that allows you to teach english and you can do that all over Bangkok, many schools or in the US. Living in Thailand is great...very inexpensive and what a fantastic culture and active city, (Bangkok). The people are beautiful and friendly and so eager to learn---English and computer skills are most popular. Good luck.

Take a TEFL course.

You don't need a degree just be able to speak English clearly. Look on this website for teaching jobs: http://www.bangkokpost.com Also check out "The Nation" which is another local paper in Bangkok. They are always looking for teaches in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand but the pay is very low.
